a week is NOTHING, I had EMS shipment held for a month. I actually filed a complaint on the custom officier who deal with my parcel. They said that's not their problem, I told them, if you're employee can't do their job, they should be trained. Later on I got response say that request is put through and they will "educate" the custom officer so that future incident will not be an issue.

If it's seized, Appeal it. Arguing it's not a real silencer, and it cannot be used in real firearm to met the criteria of silencer as it wont be much of noise reduction than a PVC pipe from homedepot . It's not illegal to attach tube to the barrel, real firearms have that see flux silencer for PS90 (make it looks like it has a silencer attached) they're legal.
